Disco Reggae Rockers features wicked reggae disco versions of funk, soul and disco classics! This new album follows on from Soul Jazz Records' earlier highly successful 'Hustle: Disco Reggae.' and features reggae covers of classic songs by Earth, Wind and Fire, Michael Jackson, The Isley Brothers, Candi Staton, Curtis Mayfield and more as performed by Derrick Harriott, Devon Russell, Hortense Ellis, Glen Adams, Dave Barker and others

The lineages of American soul and disco music on the one hand and Jamaican reggae on the other are so intertwined that its unsurprising that disco reggae – or reggae disco if you prefer – is such a winning and straightforward combination. American and Jamaican music has been influencing each other back and forth for many decades, and is one reason that the music of Diana Ross, Curtis Mayfield, the Isley Brothers and numerous other US soul artists is so widely appreciated in Jamaica.

American black music first impacted on Jamaica in the late 1950s when Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd and a generation of young sound system operators first scoured North America in search of obscure jazz and rhythm & blues 45s to play back home in Kingston dancehalls. This led to the emergence of ska, when Jamaican musicians created their own musical style that blended American jazz and rhythm & blues with Caribbean calypso and Jamaican mento music. This fusing continued into 1960s as US soul music became the foundation of JA rocksteady.

But the lesser known story is how this influence continued throughout the 1970s and 1980s. And as Jamaicans started to migrate to across the world, especially to the major cities of New York, London and Toronto, new micro-pockets of Jamaican culture laid seed to even more fertile new styles as first and second-generation Jamaican émigrés grew up influenced by both their original and that of their adopted cultures. Importantly for the UK, this gave rise to lovers rock (a combination of reggae and soul music). It also later laid the foundations for the emergence of hip-hop in the US, created by émigré Jamaican and Caribbean producers and DJs: these include Kool Herc (Jamaican), Grandmaster Flash (Barbadian) and Afrika Bambaataa (Jamaican and Barbadian parents).

Through these migrations a musical triangle was created between America, Jamaica and the UK, leading to some of the most brilliant musical cross-pollinations in the music of all three countries.

The most-straightforward definition of ‘Disco Reggae’ is to describe it as American disco and soul songs covered by reggae artists. But the relationship is binary – this is no mere subservient island appreciation of north American dominant cultural but instead an example of the interweaving thread of Jamaican and American music that travels back and forth between the major cities of Kingston, London, Toronto, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.

Having said that all of the songs featured here are indeed cover versions of (or at least heavily based on) US soul and disco tunes. Curtis Mayfield, Diana Ross, Earth, Wind & Fire, Archie Bell, The Dramatics, Michael Jackson – the work of these artists resonated around the world and Jamaica was no exception. Of these figures Curtis Mayfield was of course already an iconic artist on the island, due to the influence that his vocal group The Impressions had on Jamaican rocksteady back in the 1960s.
